bubble_chart Efficacy

Clearing the heart and cooling the blood, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria.

bubble_chart Indications

Excessive heart fire leads to heat in the chest and vexation, thirst, flushed face, and sores in the mouth and tongue. When heart heat transfers to the small intestine, it causes scanty and difficult urination with stabbing pain during urination, a red tongue, and a rapid pulse. This condition is currently used to describe acute urinary tract infections, hypertrophic prostatitis, and other conditions characterized by internal dampness-heat.

bubble_chart Formula Principles

In the formula, unprocessed Rehmannia Root clears heat and cools the blood, while also nourishing yin; Akebia Stem and Bamboo Leaf clear the heart and reduce fire, promoting urination and relieving strangury; raw Licorice Root harmonizes the stomach, clears heat, and alleviates pain from strangury. The combination of these herbs not only clears heat and cools the blood but also promotes urination and relieves strangury. Since the formula emphasizes both diuresis and nourishing yin, it promotes urination without damaging yin.
